appeared on our streets Saturday.
He lites several miles southwest of
Concord, but rarely comes to town.
His head was large enough for a
man's, but he was only four feet two
inches in height, and weighed one
hundred and fifteen pounds. To see
him walk one would guess his height
to be about two and one-half feet.
He is about twenty-two years old.
He did not enjoy much the attention
of the crowds that followed him
from place to place. He remarked
that " dese people 'peared like dey
had never seed anybody 'fore."

of his recovery, though for some
reason the physician, Dr. D. G.
Caldwell, was not called in until
Wednesday. The two negroes were
brought to the jail yesterday, hav
ing been tried before Esq. Emerson,
and failed to give the required bond

A Rom ant le Marriage.
Mr. Ed Heilig and Miss Mittie
Kinly, both of Mt. Pleasant, were
married in Salisbury, Tuesday, Au
gust the 27th.
It has beensaid that "the course
of true love never runs smooth,"
and the marriage of these young
people seems to verify it. In spite
of opposition on both sides, as we
hear, they overcame all obstacles,
and are now one. Miss Kinly had
been placed in charge of Dr. Jones,
principal of Greensboro Female Col
lege, for the purpose of attending
the session soon to open there. Mr.
Heilig heard of her whereabouts, and
somehow she managed to elude Prof.
Jones, and Mr. Heilig met her in
Salisbury armed with a marriage
license from this county. Finding
that this was " no good " ia Rowan,
the Cabarrus license was promptly
burned and another procured in that
county. Then the happy couple
were united in the holy bonds of
wedlock. They are assured of our
best wishes. We learn that they
will make their home in Salisbury,

Mr. M. T. Stallings' students wil
have a pic-nic at Bear Creek Acade
my on Saturday, September the 7th.
Everybody invited to come and bring
their baskets and have a good time.
The Fair.
Messrs. Editors:
The Fair this year is likely to be
one of the best so far as exhibits
are concerned, ever held in the west
era part of the State. The combi
nation formed by the Newton, Hick
ory, Cabarrus, State, Cumberland
Rocky Mount and other fairs for the
purpose of making the exhibits
many and varied at each, is likely to
be the means of giving us an ex hi
bition which it will be worth much
to see.
Everybody is invited to take part
in the exhibition. Bring articles of
every kind and put them on exhibi
tion. The more articles there are
the greater will be the interest in
the Fair. If you want the articles
to go on and compete for premiums
at the State Fair and at other fairs
that follow they can be made a part
of the exhibit from this county, and
can be entered for competition. The
total amount of premiums competed
for at the different fairs will hardly
be less than ten thousand dollars or
more. That will give exhibitors a
fine opportunity.
This year the dairy products will
not be exhibited in the building
containing ladies' fancy work. That
building has been set apart as Floral
Hall, and nothing will be allowed to
go in it which, by breaking, might
injure the fancy work put on exhi
bition. It is hoped that the ladies
will appreciate this effort of the
management to induce them to make
Floral Hall this year th..- chid! a;;.
grandest feature of the fair. TIu
room will he given ; the hvlies h:ivc
but to will it and it will be done.
Every department should be tilled
to the fullest extent. It takes ex
hibits to make a fair. The material
is in the country, and it should bo
put on exhibition. Do not bo afraid
you will not take a premium. That
cannot be told till after tho fair.
What you have may be superior to
anything of the kind on exhibition.
If so you will take the premium.
It i3 just five weeks till the Fair
will take place. During that time
everybody should make ready for the
time. There will be much to in
struct aud amuse. Everybody should
attend. L.
